FROM THE EDITOR'S CORNER Hr EDITOR JOHN ANDERSON Brevard was well repre sented in a recent issue of “Money”, a leading magazine for the insurance industry of the nation. A lengthy article, entitled “Who Needs Straight Life In surance,” was carried. The magazine had asked five experts in the field to serve as a panel and discuss the question. Brevard’s Frank S. J. Mc Intosh was a member of the paneL About Frank, the magazine said: “Life insurance consultant, operator of the Insurance Research Service, Brevard, North Carolina, and Adminis trator of the National Life Brokers Association.” Frank was a sharp mem ber of the panel, and we would love to have seen it on TV. The article prompted an other Brevard native to write us a letter. Pete Breese, owner of Breese Insurance Agency, El Paso, Texas, wrote and suggested that we give due recognition to Frank’s accomplishments. Pete said: “The panel was quite a dis tinguished group. “On top of everything else, it is the first time in my memory that a citizen of Brevard has been given such prominence in a magazine of national circula tion.” I We had hoped to hear Dr. Ben Ormand when he preach ed recently at the Presby terian church. 1 Doctor ■Ben has a publica tion in Booth Carolina, and he feels like we do. Each one should include a little hu mor. ' So from time to time, we , swap stories. Today, we’re borrowing a couple of religious stories from the Baptist BlbHcal Re corder that we hope he can use. And we trust you’ll get a chuckle out of them too. “As I have forgotten my notes this morning,” the min ister began his sermon, “I will rely on the Lord for guid ance. But tonight I come bet ter prepared.” The Sunday School teacher asked one little girl if she knew the story of Adam and Eve. “First God created Adam,” she said, “then He looked at him and said, ‘I think I can do better.’ So, He created girls.” You might say summer has officially arrived in Transyl vania. Wednesday, there’s the big Olin Fourth of July picnic, and Friday night the Brevard Music Center begins the 1973 season. Camps in the county have opened with capacity enroll ments, and it appears that the best tourist season ever is underway. Last weekend Glen Cannon Country club had a record num ber of visitors, and we’re de lighted that the course is in ex cellent condition. You should hear golfers from South Caro lina rave about what a beauti ful course we have. As we were writing about the fun of summertime, school officials sent over the new schedule. We hate to mention it, but, boys and girls, you’re in for a very short summer. Pupil assignment day Is August 22nd, which isn’t very far away, and classes begin on the 23rd. From Tar Heel Realtor ... When I was a student, I was quite. I didn’t protest, I didn’t riot. I wasn’t unwashed, I wasn’t obscene. I made no demands on prexy or dean. I sat in no sit-in, I heckled no speaker. I broke not a window; few students were meeker. I’m forced to admit with some hesitation. All I got out of school was an education! Borrowed . . . Hippies present two prob lems: law and odor. It’s the little things in life that upset people—such as two-foot putts. Then there was the gnest speaker who began: “Now be fore I start I want to say something.” You’re an old-timer if you can remember when you could tell a youngster the facts of life without getting into a debate. Some men believe in dreams until they marry them.

Guards manned towers, aj d sentry dogs were on constant patrol. Prisoners were moved fre quently, and the c?mp eventually became a depot for 15 satellite camps spread over a wide area. Prisoners were permitted to prepare their own food according to their own rec ipes. Supplies ^»ere adequate, although some of the items were unfamiliar to the POW cooks. THE PRISON hospital was kept busy, because many of the men had contracted malaria before they were captured. Each man was allowed the equivalent of 10 cents a day: for luxuries, and those willing to work could earn up to 90 cents more. Because of an extreme labor short age in the area, some prisoners were allow ed to work outside the camp. Many did farm labor and sbme with skills worked in light industry. The POW camp was so deep in enemy territory, escape would have been difficult. Few knew enough of the strange, hostile land and language to attempt an escape, and many worked with no military super vision at all. > ONLY ON(JE was the camp escape alarm sounded and the special bloodhound teams called into action. A truck returned from a farm job 18 miles distant with one prisoner missing; Delay in sounding the alarm and approaching darkness made the search of such a large area a chancy thing at best. Yet the escapee was back in his bunk within hours. Left by the truck, he had walked 18 miles back to camp and was re admitted by the guar dat the main gate. Security was relaxed even more after that. Education classes were added to the POW recreation program which already in cluded twice-a-week movies and a 5,000-book library which regularly issued 600 books a week. PRISONERS WERE given dictionaries to help them with the newspapers and peri odicals supplies by religious groups in the area. Fifty per cent of the POWs complet ed at least one special course, and 26 earn ed college credits through correspondence classes. In a matter of months after hostilities ended, all prisoners had been repatriated and the camp was closed. AND THAT’S all there is to this story which was provided to me by Mrs. H. J.
